Took a walk on the ritzy side today. In the latest of nice things my roommates have done for me, one offered to drop me off at Kahala, one of the many island areas I have yet to visit, on her way to work. Naturally, I accepted. Lots of gated mansions, carefully manicured lawns and expensive cars lined the streets on the way to the beach. And, when I got there, (this is going to sound like a broken record) it was nothing but soft light sand, gorgeous blue water and even bluer clear sky. ------------------------------------------------------
Quick story: So, I took turns swimming and rolling around on the small five foot strip of sand between the water and the private residence walls. Then, I headed off to the local mall to hang-out for a bit. (As a quick aside, I watched "9" at the mall- although it was visually amazing, I was a bit underwhelmed. I was hoping for more, story-wise.) Anyway, I nod hello to people but everyone just looks away from me as quickly as possible. A tad confused and upset at the lack of warmth I had come to generally expect, I bused it home and somewhat re-evaluated my generally positive view of people. So, I get home, head to the shower, and look in the mirror. And, what do I see?! Large grains of sand ringing my eyes in some disgusting, disease-like manner. Ahh, I thought! People just thought I was either sick or physically gross! People are still nice, it's just that they're very, very shallow! Suffice to say, I napped well after that.
